Just Another Day

If someone told me a year ago that I would be planning yet another party again I would tell them no way, not happening. But a year after having D's graduation party, I'm now planning a baby shower. I hate planning parties to start with so I'm feeling a bit stressed about it. I'm kind of doing this party with J's mom but really its all me. She gave me a few bucks, paid for the church hall and left the rest up to me. I have people making food and when I needed some things made from her side is all I got was one making pudding and her making some jello. Hello, I need more then that. Slowly I'm picking up things like table coverings, gifts to hand out, decoration to put on the tables and gift table. The invites are done and have been mailed out. What a trip those were to make. Hours and hours it took to get them done. I don't have one with me at the apt. but when I get back home I'll take a picture of one and put it on here for all to see. I think they turned out really cute. The invites are in the shape of a diaper. I had to glue a decorative piece to a plain color piece. Then trace the diaper on to the sheet and cut them out. Fold them up. Then I had to make the slits for the over lap part of the diaper. Use a stamper to put on the date and time. Write out the info and type out the mailing addresses. Oh, we stamped the back of the envelopes with "its a shower" and I little blue duck because N is having a boy. Let me tell you, I never thought it could take so long to do 100 invites when I started them. But I like the way they look and I'm thinking of doing the thank you's in the shape of a bottle...lol but not gluing two pieces of paper together...lol

So other then that I've just been making blankets after blankets. Some for Ayden and some for a head start on any baby shower I might go to in the future....lol I'm sure there will be enough in the future now that the kids and cousins and friends kids are all growing up. I figured I'd do them while my fingers can take it.

Finally after almost a year of no work C is back doing the same job for the same company that he quit after getting out of the hospital. I have yet to see him in the last 2 1/2 weeks since he doesn't bother to come home on the weekends. He is spending it with someone I'd rather not say since I don't have to many nice words for her or about her. He just says they are friends. What ever

D still doesn't have a job but he hasn't really been looking to hard. It makes it hard with no driver licenses and that is our fault for not getting it done. Sooner or later

N is 30 weeks PG and for the most part she is doing fine. Now time is starting to go alittle on the slow side. At the beginning it was flying right by. Now I'm like hurry up and lets get this blast off going, but he still needs to bake on low heat for 10 more weeks...lol

There Dee, I hope your happy to see that I have blogged something...lol
